Police said two other “persons of interest” have been identified in connection with the incident.

The altercation happened on June 13 when the auxiliary officers were following up on a citizen complaint about teens selling marijuana in the skate park.

When the officers confronted one male suspect, he pushed them and put one of them in a headlock.

Another teen struggled with an officer who had seized a backpack containing suspected marijuana.

The suspect managed to pry the backpack out of the officer’s hands, then fled the scene.

A third suspect ran off with one of the officer’s glasses and hat.

All three suspects escaped, at the time.
